So... I get that when I compile. Does that mean I've used up all the server bandwidth I'm allowed this month, or that my files are too big, or what?
ide0(3,3): warning, user block quota exceeded.

It means you've filled up all of the drive space you've been allocated by the host. You need to go through and start cleaning out old log files, bugs.txt files, and such.
I just cleaned out bug.txt, which used to be like 16 megs, still get a quota exceeded error. =(
Should this clear up when the month changes?

No.
Type quota to see your limit and current usage.

The reason I ask is because we have 200 megs of space, and even after downloading the codebase to my comp I've only found 30 megs of data.
Check your logs directory and get rid of anything in there.
Also check your area and src directory to see if any core files have accumulated. Those will take up loads of space if the system is dropping them as core.### for filenames.
If that's not enough to clear it you'll need to seek assistance from your host.

Cores are a likely candidate, yes.
One thing you can do is from your home directory, type
That'll tell you how much space is being used in each sub-directory of your home directory. Chances are you'll have one big one called "mud" or "smaug" or whatever. Go into that and type the same thing. Keep on going until you find where the space is being used, and then figure out what you want to do with it.
The command
is how you can see the file sizes of each file in a directory.
